In a sane world, all who want to apply for asylum should be required to do it outside the U.S., and every person showing up at the border will be turned away. And every illegal caught in the U.S. would be immediately deported, no questions asked. We aren’t in a same world
Supreme Court blocks Biden administration for now from ending migrant expulsions under Title 42
In a blow to the Biden administration’s ability to set the nation’s immigration policy, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said the government could not halt the expulsion of migrants for public health reasons under the controversial Title 42 program.
That program, which has been in place since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, must continue while courts assess a lawsuit filed by Republican officials in 19 states who say that unwinding the Title 42 policy would unleash a national “catastrophe.”
The emergency intervention from the high court came days after the Trump-era program was set to expire. The justices announced they will hear arguments about the program in the upcoming year, but limited their review to whether the conservative states may intervene in the litigation. Oral arguments are expected in February. In the meantime, expulsions will continue.
Expulsions should ALWAYS continue for those who should not be here.
The high court’s unsigned order noted that Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan would have denied the emergency request from the states and allowed the administration to lift the Title 42 policy.
Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented from the court’s ruling Tuesday, joined by Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The court’s decision on the states’ emergency request was “unwise,” Gorsuch wrote. “The emergency on which those (Title 42) orders were premised has long since lapsed.”
“The only plausible reason for stepping in,” Gorsuch said, has to do with the states’ concerns about immigration and the situation on the border.
“But the current border crisis is not a COVID crisis,” Gorsuch added. “And courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency. We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.”
I understand Gorsuch’s point, but, consider that, even though Brandon said that COVID was over, the Executive Branch isn’t really acting like it. They continue to pimp vaccines and boosters, and even voluntary masking. Type cdc.gov, and the first thing you see is COVID. All the way across. They just expanded the updated vaccines, which seem to neither stop COVID or stop COVID related deaths, to those 6 months to 5 years
Our esteemed host began:
The Democrats decided, decades ago, that if they supported lenient immigration policies, the immigrants, and their children, would primarily vote for Democrats. This was considered to be far more important than the security and culture of the United States.
How many businesses had signs in both English and Spanish thirty years ago? That’s not really annoying. But how many schools had to have instruction in both English and Spanish? That is more than just annoying; it is very expensive.
Once AGAIN the cons have it wrong!
